Picture books for pairing: literary allusions in children’s books
An excellent post on examples of intertextuality in picture books starts with Iris in How To Hide A Lion by Helen Stephens (Alison Green, 2012), who is seen reading Judith Kerr’s classic The Tiger Who Came To Tea. At the end of the post there is an honourable mention for The Baby Tree by Sophie Blackall (Penguin, 2014), which includes two books by the author’s studio mates.
